High Traffic Serverless Esports Platform

Gamercraft needed to support high traffic spikes during large-scale Esports tournaments. aleios helped Gamercraft to identify Serverless on AWS as the optimal target architecture for their MVP and beyond. Serverless ensured Gamercraft could move quickly to meet market demand, while simultaneously future proofing their platform for larger scale tournaments.

aleios worked with Gamercraft to build their initial MVP and release it to real end users within just 14 weeks. This validated product hypotheses and demonstrated the economic and performance advantages of a Serverless architecture. Our AWS Serverless Hero, Ben Ellerby, ran workshops with the Gamercraft in their New York offices, mapping the business domain to the technical architecture using Domain-Driven Design techniques.

A Serverless best practice template was created and replicated for each of the system services, with Amazon EventBridge providing the Event routing between services.

After the MVP was validated the architecture was further productionised by adding observability tooling, increased automated integration testing and empowering their team to make changes to the system autonomously.

Following the successful scaling of the plaform the aleios team supported Gamercraft in building their own tech capability, hiring and training engineers in Serverless and the best of Cloud-Native. This training was completely hands-on, leveraging pair-programing and our custom training visibility tools to ensure a rapid and manageable ramp-up of the new engineers.

The partnership with Aleios has been the best thing that has happened so far in our company's history.
